Hello,
I am attempting to grep the contents of a key file I have SCP'd to a remote server. I am able to cat it:
[code] [bluethundr@LBSD2:~]$:ssh root@sum1 grep `cat /root/id_rsa.pub`
Put single quotes around the whole command you want to send to the remote. Otherwise your local shell is going to process the backtick expansion before anything else. And grep is just as capable of reading the file as cat anyway.
